(Understanding with a hint of playfulness) “I know, I know, but if I recall…someone I knew, once acted the same way.”

(Amusing) *Small chuckle* “I thought you said I was louder than a herd of stampeding elk getting chased by a pack of cackling coyotes.”

(Kind hearted) “You don’t need a large group of creatures to be a leader. You only need to be compassionate and wise, they will follow and listen.”
